How hard is it for Yuzuru Hanyu to challenge 4a?

Yuzuru Hanyu's 4a Challenge requires four and a half turns, faster assist speed and higher jump, so the difficulty is epic in flower skating.

Introduction to 1 and 4A

Axel's jumping around (4A) is epic in difficulty. 4A actually has to turn one and a half times. Compared with 3A, the highest point of 4A is 17cm, and the freezing point is far away from 1. 1m, so the taxi speed should be increased by at least 10%, and one jump is the only forward jump.

When preparing to turn around, the center of gravity is on the outer edge of the skates. When taking off, skates may slide laterally, so 4A is considered as the most difficult movement.
